I had a slight back injury when I was thrown from a jeep. It’s not serious but I’ll get a nice rest out of it and it will be a month or six weeks til I get my mail so all your pkgs and letters will pile up.

Rec’d your letter and the beautiful card. I’m still munching on your Xmas pkge but the Paul Jones didn’t last very long. Your pkgs have comes so far and they sure do help my Xmas morale. After those couple of days of decent living and enjoyment in Paris, I have become homesick. Sure wish it would end soon as I am growing very tired.

I just returned from that short pass in Paris and I really had a wonderful time. It is a beautiful place and very artistic. People are very gay and enjoy life. I had little time to shop as stores weren’t open while I was there but after the war I will send everyone something nice. I managed to get Hada and Laurie some perfume. You can use some of it Jean.

Another month started and a year since I left the good old U.S. It seems endless at times even tho the papers at home seem to think otherwise. But, of course, anything can happen and we are all keeping our fingers crossed.
